Techwhirlers:
I sent Doug another private response with more detail and thought I would
summarize for the list. --DBD
Doug:
SnagIt/32 is a screen capture program that included an "Autoscroll
Capture" feature in a recent release. This allows you to instruct SnagIt to
begin the capture at the top of the screen and automatically scroll the
window to capture what is out of sight. This is especially handy for web
pages. The feature works in both graphic and text mode, allowing you
to save a long image (bitmap) or ASCII text. I also use this feature in
text mode to capture data from databases, directories, and long listings
of all types. It works very well.
Yes, to those with good memories, I am associated with the maker,
TechSmith Corp., in that I author their help files.
